I just finished up with my creative Charleston photography workshop. Some of my clients were willing to share one of their image’s from the trip. Not everyone wanted to share, or had time to share as they were off to other adventures. BUT… I think we can all agree that it was a great time filled with lots of techniques and fun! We all inspired each other and got along so nicely. I’m already looking forward to next years “Recharging Your Creativity” workshop in Charleston. The fall ended up being perfect weather! Stay tuned for details and date.
The above image is blurred creation of a wreath that hung on a door in downtown Charleston. To create the image, I shook my camera ever so slightly with a slow shutter speed, in Photoshop I did some door clean up and cropped it. I was attracted to the sage green in the wreath, it will match the rug in my kitchen so I will be making a small print to put in my kitchen.

From Patti:
Camera & settings: An Olympus OM 1 Mark II and an Olympus 12-100mm f/4 lens, set at 57mm, f/11 & ISO 200.
Technique: A long (1 second), still shot of these flowers, blowing in the wind.
Other: These flowers were in a window box along with simple greenery. The scene allowed for clean, simple background.

Kris explains how she created this image:
Took the image with my telephoto and white sky background and a slow shutter speed to silken the water. Then in LightRoom, did minimal cropping, and processed looking first to brighten toward high-key, added a little vibrance and saturation, and finished with negative de-haze for the dreamy look. Took into Photoshop (which I’m having to relearn) and added a light impact texture at 40% and revealed the Charleston icon cumulatively at 33%.

From Alyson:
I used a creative blur while photographing- ISO 125, f/11 and shooter at 1/10 sec. Post processing in Photoshop to enhance the clarity and texture where needed and the brush tool to fill in part of the sky. My website is www.alybetzphoto.com.
